HELP: How to check if a data has existing record/duplicate and merge if possible?

Hello, bubblers! I need help.

I want to check if a data I want to input had already been added or not. So I want to get all matched datas in a repeating group, and let the user check if there are duplicates.

USE CASE:

  • I want to find if a “Customer” already has a record before booking the customer to a room. If there are matches, return all matched records (with percentage of similarity) then merge the record with a selected record?

Customer 1:
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Birthday: 01/02/2000
Gender: Male

Customer 2:
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Birthday: 08/02/1990
Gender: Male

Customer 3:
First Name: John Arnold
Last Name: Smith
Birthday: 01/02/2000
Gender: Male

I want to check if customer 1 already has a duplicate record before booking that customer and return all possibilities.

Return: (2 existing records matched to Customer 1)
Match1: Customer 2 (70% Similarity)
Match2: Customer 3 (80% Similarity)

How can I achieve this? (Including possible typographical errors)

Hi @fabrice.latour04, can your Quick search plugin help me on this one?
